== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LEG9_HUMAN LEG9_HUMAN] Binds galactosides. Has high affinity for the Forssman pentasaccharide. May play a role in thymocyte-epithelial interactions relevant to the biology of the thymus. Inhibits cell proliferation. It is a ligand for HAVCR2/TIM3. Induces T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1) death. Isoform Short acts as an eosinophil chemoattractant.<ref>PMID:16286920</ref> <ref>PMID:18005988</ref> <ref>PMID:18977853</ref>
